i love the idea that kusuke had some sort of life-altering revelation offscreen after the cattank incident. like he and kusuo never actually properly talk it out but the next time kusuke shows up he just treats kusuo like a normal brother (relatively of course) and its never addressed
i've always wanted to try out this trend! i didnt think i drew him that different. i was wrong. very wrong.
hes so baby girl in my style what the fuck. oh i know, i was just drawing what gege meant to draw. dw, i got his telepathic brainwaves 👍
[time lapse + my headcanons for Noritoshi's appearance under the cut]
some headcanons i have while drawing him are semi obvious while others are bc i like it ahehahhaheha
cupid's bow lips!
this was semi inspired by Mizuki Umetsu, the actor for Noritoshi in the jjk stage play! hes so. pretty. perfect guy for the role imo! i was captivated therefore my views changed.
longer hair!
the thought that his bangs(? are the same length, or longer, as the rest of his hair is nice.. it also makes his inevitable haircut much more refreshing! i also just like long hair and its a fucking waste not to do whatever the i want.
thicker brows and visible eyelashes!
i naturally draw thicker eyebrows because it looks pretty, but the eyelashes is so fucking canon bro. dont even fight me on this, you'll lose. i read a fic about Noritoshi where it said he took good care of himself and his appearance inspired jealousy. that fucked me up man, so now i draw him as beautiful as i can.
monolids!
I've looked through the manga and i think its highly implied that Noritoshi has monolids? yk those lines in between the eye and eyebrow, he doesnt have them in the manga. i thought it was because of the expressions he had, but no. the others have them, except geto! so geto also having monolids is so fr in my head. i like that feature abt him.
loose hairs!
the hairs that i draw on his face. they make him look so cute and a bit more relaxed. he's not trying to be perfect nor have a single strand out of place. he's just a bit more at ease... though if there's something important he has to go through, he sharpens up. becomes.. stiffer?
I UNINTENTIONALLY MADE HIS CHEST LOOK A BIT BIGGER IN MY STYLE AND I WANT TO APOLOGIZE, BUT I'D BE A LIAR.
DOES THIS COUNT AS A HEADCANON??? I JUST THINK... SINCE. YK. HES AN ARCHER. AND DOES TRAINING. AND COMBAT. AND DOES ALL THOSE HIGH JUMPS... HIS CHEST. ITD BE A BIT BIGGER FOR HIS STATURE.. omfg. that'd imply that his legs are fucking insane. and his arms too, since he has to pull back all those arrows so quickly.. oh my fuck. this. this is a revelation. what are you hiding under those robes noritoshi...???? one day.. one day we'll see...
oh my fucking god i forgot that i wrote shit while drawing. please ignore my fucking stupid writings AND THE STUPID ASS THING IN THE MIDDLE I FORGOT ABT WHILE DRAWING..
i can’t wait for laudna and imogen telling everyone they're together and orym just silently being 100% unsurprised and, to himself cuz he’d never say it out loud, going “took you long enough” cuz it has felt this whole time like orym is the Elder Queer seeing two inexperienced people secretly falling for each other and watching a repeat of moments and feelings and dynamics that are so deeply familiar to him
Hmm... it's interesting how they made Luz wear a witch's cloak in Hunting Palisman - the episode where she introduces Flapjack to Hunter. This is also the episode where Hunter defies Belos by choosing Luz over him. He goes back to his palace empty-handed and he doesn't hand over Flapjack to Belos. Unbeknownst to Hunter, he is following Caleb's footsteps.
But then, in Hollow Mind, they made the choice to have Luz not wear her witches cloak - instead they made Luz wear a jacket with a giant "E" on it. They could have given Luz a completely different outfit like they did in Hunting Palisman. But they don't... they make her wear this specific jacket...
...They also make Hunter wear Caleb's symbol in Hollow Mind... an episode where Luz and Hunter are trapped in Philip's mind... where we can see paintings of the two most important characters in Philip's life - his brother and a witch from another world.
But I'm sure this is all unintentional.
You know, like this is:
oh, nbd, just a painting being paralleled with the scene happening right before our eyes
here's a more high def image of the painting
Oh, hmm, okay, this is a painting of Caleb standing next to a witch with short dark brown hair and who just so happens to be a witch from another world. Both of them are startled by Philip...
Hunter, the Grimwalker who looks the most like Caleb, is standing next to someone who ALSO just so happens to be a witch from another world with short dark brown hair... both are startled by Philip's monster form...
Hmm, must be unintentional I guess.
there's also this:
Mhm, okay, I see... I see, very interesting. Here we have Caleb being lead away from Philip by a witch from another world after the brother's have a fall out. This fall out marks the point of no return for them, as Philip later kills Caleb out of anger.
Hunter and Philip's relationship completely deteriorates because of Luz, which leads to Philip's decision to kill Hunter. She shows Hunter Belos' true nature and she offers Hunter sanctuary at The Owl House right after he finds out Belos has been lying to him his whole life... Luz saves Hunter's life and changes it forever.
Hmmm... very interesting
But I'm sure this is unintentional [I'm being sarcastic]
I'm not gonna be over the scene where Steph nearly shoots Pete for an embarrassingly long time, honestly - I can't imagine what my mental state would be like right now if they HAD gone through with it.
I mean, it's a real act of devotion - especially for teenagers! And what a way to find that out that - oh, I love you.
but you love me too. we have for a while. But because of that, you have to kill me. I'm what you cherish most. I have to stare at you while I do it, and pull the trigger, or EVERYTHING I know dies.
They'd just realised it! What a horrible way to confess.
How would you even process doing something like that after? I know I wouldn't even know how to begin.
Ever since I learned that you had to actually teach your kids how to do stuff, it's been so much fun having them around. It's very cute to watch them play with something they've never seen before, or only do something after they see me do it first. Idk how much is code and how much is coincidence, but they're undoubtedly better at living now. And their personalities are so unique!
i love stobin working retail jobs and sharing a resume so much but consider this. steve follows robin to bloomington, indianapolis, west lafayette, wherever she decides to go and they get a little apartment. maybe they decide to go out of state but i think they stay in the midwest. then st takes a page from buffy and steve works construction while robin goes to school.
I'll never be able to take the theory that Vincent is Sephiroth's real father seriously cuz I cannot stress enough how important I think it is to the plot that Vincent wanted to fuck Lucrecia and did not get to.
the other day, a friend of mine invited me over to testplay a paper-and-pencil storytelling game he's been working on for a while and feels like he's finally got a workable version of and one of his mentioned reasons was that "you're a fellow storyteller, I want to see what you'll do with it"
I promptly created a character which violated exactly zero (0) rules but nonetheless obliterated one of the core intended mechanical limitations of the game and I didn't even do that on purpose
after the game, when we were laughing about this, he admitted that one of his other reasons for asking me specifically to testplay was because he knew that "if there was anything that could be broken, you would find it and break it"
You summon us once, you summon us twice, you gamble it on the roll of the dice
The devil has won, it can’t be undone, the book has all but closed on your life
Finally finished recreating the Lords in Black in TS4! I spent way longer on this than I’d like to admit, but I’m super happy with the way they all turned out. I took inspiration mostly from their costumes in Nerdy Prudes Must Die, but a bit from their NMT doll designs as well (and of course some personal creative liberties).
I would be here forever if I were to try and list all of the CC I used, but special thanks to @sewersims @pyxiidis @zaneida-and-sims4 @pralinesims @saruin @vapidsims. I literally would not have been do any of this without your work!
For the Dark Fairy's role to have been stolen by the Evil Queen then the cursing of Sleeping Beauty must have happened some time past graduation, this makes some sense given that Briar hasn't been cursed yet I guess, and we're given an explanation it all going down on Sleeping Beauty's 18th birthday party, which is also fine.
But given the Evil Queen's age isn't in the hundreds, Briar's mother can't have actually fallen asleep for hundreds of years, and Briar's age relative to Raven's suggests that Briar's mother wasn't sleeping for vary long at all? Briar's parents probably went to school together and their friends are likely all still alive. It would even make sense that this is what happened because it explains how the Evil Queen managed to go an extra eight-plus years until the Invasion of Wonderland until she was actually arrested for interfering with stories; if the outcome of the first time she did it allowed Sleeping Beauty to avoid the actual horror of her story unfolding the way it was supposed to.
But Briar's fears are still based on the idea that her mother did sleep for hundreds of years and all her friends are dead and she did end up being married to a man she had never met before. Which, don't work with the timeline. At least let her sit at a table listening to her mother recount stories with her friends during a dinner party and lose her appetite as she realises she won't be able to do the same because the Evil Queen broke script for her mum and isn't around to break script for her.
Or maybe Briar has heard the stories about how hard it will be from her Grandmother, who only had the two children before her husband died in an accident that may have not been an accident, and Briar can't help but think she might be trying to mentally prepare Briar for the worst even as her friends and mentors brush the stories off as the kind of stories old people tell to scare children.
But you have to pick whether Briar's mother did sleep long enough to get that trauma from her, or if the Evil Queen stole the Dark Fairy's role. Because the Sleeping Beauty story has to have happened before Briar was born, and Raven was eight when the Invasion of Wonderland happened. So every year that Sleeping Beauty was asleep for is another year on top of 8-9 that the Evil Queen got away with interfering with a story before everything with Wonderland. And every year Sleeping Beauty is asleep is another year that every other kingdom has decided to let the Evil Queen carry on without being arrested given no one during that period of time knows what the outcome of the Evil Queen's spell would be when the Dark Fairy's spell is meant to be the safe one. And every year that Sleeping Beauty is asleep for is another year added to the age of all the parents, even if Sleeping Beauty herself doesn't age.
I don't think she was asleep longer than a year at most.
We also know that the Snow White story had to have happened before this as well. So imagine being the newly crowned Queen White, who is eighteen. You've pardoned your step mother for her actions against you because they were made for the sake of the story. She's also eighteen, you argue, and she's married to your dad who may be a good man but is at the very least 36 but probably more likely in his 50s (assuming he didn't get married as soon as he turned 18, and that you weren't conceived an born that same year, supposedly the Good King has a naval career, and you might even have older siblings who would later die fighting your step-mother: someone had to be assumed heir to the Good King's name after all) in what was for all intents and purposes an arranged marriage [I like to think it was a genuine arranged marriage the Good King didn't want but also didn't want to go to war with the Evil Queen's father whoever he may be, but the Storybook of Legends is also playing matchmaker here so].
Then she curses someone who was probably your friend in school.
A fair few people are blaming you. If you hadn't let the Evil Queen run free instead of being locked up, or even killed, for her crimes the story would have happened the way it was meant to.
What else can you do but point out that the Evil Queen is still the Evil Queen, and the spell that put you to sleep was able to be broken with True Love's Kiss. There isn't even a time limit.
When Sleeping Beauty wakes up she's overjoyed that it hasn't been that long at all.
When Briar finds out that Raven's page said she'd interfere with the Sleeping Beauty story as well and Raven is refusing to do it, she might well be angry.
A queer newsletter from my hometown is posting about the lack of lesbian bars in this major city. But they're acting like this is a long-standing issue when it isn't. There was a lesbian bar in town. For many years, it opened sometime in the 80s. Then, around 2015/2016 trans rights became the hot button issue, and that bar took approximately 5 minutes to become a terf bar and start isolating itself from the rest of the local queer community. The petty infighting between regulars led to a gradual loss of business before the bar ultimately shut down in 2019. (Then relocated and reopened in 2021 as a straight bar).
It's great if they want to open a new lesbian/ women's bar, or otherwise create that space. But they've got to deal with this problem first.
